I collected some stinging nettles; these have vitamins/minerals in them. They are rich in vitamins A, B, C, D, and K. They are even a substantial source of protein; contain high amount of iron content. http://bstone.hubpages.com/hub/The-Healing-Benefits-of-Stinging-Nettleshttp://www.squidoo.com/natural-herbal-remedies-the-stinging-nettle-plantFor women: http://brennacoleman.suite101.com/stinging-nettles-and-womens-health-a107793Stinging nettle is found growing wild all over the world and usually indicates a nutrient-rich soil. The sting felt when the leaves come into contact with bare skin is lost when the leaves are cooked, and they can be eaten as a vegetable, resembling and tasting like spinach. They can even be consumed as a tea. I put them in a pan half full of hot water; added some mint and rosemary. Half an hour later, I drained the water. I added this to the water when I took a bath. I felt so healed. It was wonderful. I've not yet tried adding it to a foot bath, however. Another idea is to put in into a bowl for washing your hands with. We have an endless source of nutrients through free stinging nettles.
